Prada

At this Spring’s shows, fashion’s refreshing reign of comfort moved into full swing, with legions of designers suggesting flat-soled silhouettes to go with everything from cropped pants to ankle-length pleated skirts and even evening clothes.

It was at Dior that Slimane found his signature. He earned a reputation designing stage wear for such pioneers of stylish androgyny as Mick Jagger and Daft Punk. “That’s one of the reasons Dior Homme was so popular,” Courtney Love says. “First the power lesbians were wearing it. Then chicks like me started collecting it really fiendishly, almost like Prada cigarette pants.”

Josephine Skriver is one of the industry’s most in-demand faces. Her big fashion break came during the autumn/winter 2011 shows in Milan, where she began her catwalk career by opening the Alberta Ferretti show and closing the Prada show. Also in 2013, she joined the ranks of the Victoria’s Secret models at the brand’s multi-million-dollar catwalk show in November 2013, and became a face of Yves Saint Laurent alongside fellow VS alumnus Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn.

Jagger – who is currently the face of Rimmel and the ‘Just Cavalli’ fragrance – first appeared on the British Vogue cover in November 2009, before becoming one of Britain’s most sought-after young models. The model, who first came to the attention of most as the daughter of Rolling Stones frontman Mick and model Jerry Hall, has steadily built a successful career as a catwalk model – with appearances for Chanel, Balmain, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton last season (2013) – and campaign face, appearing for H&M, Miu Miu and Vivienne Westwood among others.
